Hi,

You may run the defragment using the Command prompt and you may run commands inside the visual basic, the following is an example:

Imports System.Diagnostics

Module Module1

Sub Main()

Try

' Create a new process to run the defrag command

Dim defragProcess As New Process()

defragProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe"

defragProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "/c defrag C: /U /V"

defragProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False

defragProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True

defragProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True

' Start the process

defragProcess.Start()

' Capture and display the output

Dim output As String = defragProcess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()

defragProcess.WaitForExit()

Console.WriteLine("Defragmentation Output:")

Console.WriteLine(output)

Catch ex As Exception

Console.WriteLine("An error occurred: " & ex.Message)

End Try

End Sub

End Module
